| Obverse description | The full coat of arms of Barbados occupies the central field, featuring a shield charged with two frangipani flowers and a bearded fig tree, supported by a dolphin to the left and a pelican to the right. A helmet and mantling surmount the shield, and a scroll below bears the national motto PRIDE AND INDUSTRY. The country name BARBADOS arcs across the upper legend, while the denomination 5 DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower rim. The fineness and weight indicators 1 oz and Ag 999 appear in the lower left and right fields respectively. |

| Additional information |
Barbados severed its constitutional ties to the British Crown in November 2021, becoming a republic with Dame Sandra Mason as its first president. This 2022 issue therefore occupies an awkward transitional position: struck after the republic was declared, yet still bearing the effigy of a monarch who was no longer head of state. Elizabeth II died in September 2022, making late-dated issues from this year among the final coins of any sovereign nation — republic or otherwise — to carry her portrait under an active minting program.
